Anyone pregnant or have children with a Boxer dog?

March 9, 2010 - 10:14 pm 7 Comments

I’m 14 weeks pregnant and we have a 65lb all muscle Boxer Female who will be almost 2 when the baby comes. She is a VERY energetic dog and I’m just concerned with her excited behavior once the baby comes. She’s wonderful with my nieces and nephews who are all over 2 years of age – but I’m concerned with a newborn and the first 2 years. Anyone have a boxer and babies? Tell me your experiences and challenges you’ve faced.

I have two boxers who are now 6 and 8 years old. TRUST ME, a boxer is one of the BEST dogs you can have around your children! My sister lived with us for a while, and at the time, she had a newborn and a 2 year old. They were wonderful with her kids and let them crawl on them and tug at their ears…they just licked them!

Your boxer is at that age where she’s JUST starting to get out of the puppy stage. Boxers take a long time to mature, and this stage could last a year or more. BE PATIENT!

Boxers are very intelligent, and when ours would sniff or go near the newborn, we would just watch closely. If they tried to lick him, only a quick "no no" and they would back off. Of course she’s going to be interested in the new addition. Let her sniff the baby and get used to it. You’ll find that that dog will become your baby’s #1 protector. Moreso than you even.

You’re in for a real treat. I cannot reiterate enough how wonderful boxers are with children. You have nothing to worry about. Enjoy it!

How tall will my boxer dog be?

March 7, 2010 - 10:23 pm 6 Comments

I have a handsome 8 month old male boxer dog who stands 23inch to the top of his shoulder and was just curious to know how much taller he will get!

It really depends on his genetics, how big were his parents. Which pup of the liter was he. Usually most pups by the age of 8 months are already grown 80% of what they will be at full grown. I have 2 boxers a male and female, my female was the runt of the liter and she is 70lbs her parents were pretty big in size. My boy pup hes 5 months and hes 50lbs, he will be a big guy hes got huge paws. Anyway good luck!

What breed of dog is similar to a Boxer’s temperament?

March 6, 2010 - 12:13 am 4 Comments

I have always grown up with beautiful male Boxer dogs. I love their puppy like nature, boisterousness, eagerness to please, warmth and fearless courage when they feel their family needs protection.

Recently, my family and I have been looking for a dog that is smaller in size but has the same characteristics and cute face as the boxer. Any suggestions or personal experience would be greatly appreciated!
(I have heard Beagles are a lovely breed of dog although I’m concerned about their well-known selfish and stubborn attitude)

boston terriers have alot of the same qualities

What is it like to have a "boxer" dog in the house?

I’m moving into a house where the family are having a boxer dog. I haven’t seen the dog yet, but I’m asking those who have experience, is it a lovely breed of dogs, active , friendly, bark less etc etc.. I appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Generally boxers are fairly high energy dogs. This however will depend on the individual dog and also the dogs age. Younger dogs tend to be more rambunctious by nature. Boxers are normally very friendly dogs, but again it depends on the individual dog. Any dog can be friendly if they are socialized correctly, but the boxer breed as a whole is a typically friendly dog. Any breed of dog can be amazing pets and friendly, a big factor determining this is how the dog was raised.

Good Luck!

When i wake up in the morning, we find wet patches on our floor. Is it our 10 year old boxer dog?

Every time in the morning when i go down stairs, we find a wet patch on the floor and it has no ordure. We have a 10 year old Boxer Dog and he seems to be drinking Allot at the moment. Would you say this is him? I am getting abit worried about this.

It sounds like it’s the dog. Take to Vet’s to see if it has a urinary tract infection. Or, because of age, it’s internal organs could be shutting down.
